Highlights

• An oil heater, also known as an oil-filled heater, oil-filled radiator, or column heater, is a common form of convection heater used in domestic heating.
• Although filled with oil, it is electrically heated and does not involve burning any oil fuel; the oil is used as a heat reservoir (buffer), not as a fuel.
• The Basics. Oil filled radiators work by using an electrical element to heat a reservoir of thermal oil inside the appliance.
• The electrical element is fully submerged within the oil, so that when it heats up, all of the warmth created is transferred to the surrounding liquid.
